Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] edac: fsl_ddr_edac: fix expected data message

When a correctable single bit error occurs, the driver calculates the
bad_data_bit respectively the bad_ecc_bit. If there is no error in the
corresponding data, the value becomes -1. With this the expected data
message is calculated.

In the case of an error in the lower 32 bits or no error (-1) the right
side operand of the bit-shift becomes negative which is undefined
behavior.

This can result in wrong and misleading messages like this:
[  311.103794] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Faulty Data bit: 36
[  311.108490] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Expected Data / ECC:   0xffffffef_ffffffff / 0x80000059
[  311.116135] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Captured Data / ECC:   0xffffffff_ffffffef / 0x59

Fix this by only calculating the expected data where the error occurred.

With the fix the dmesg output looks like this:
[  311.103794] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Faulty Data bit: 36
[  311.108490] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Expected Data / ECC:   0xffffffef_ffffffef / 0x59
[  311.116135] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Captured Data / ECC:   0xffffffff_ffffffef / 0x59
